Have you ran into issues with Copilot where it does things like:

- Doesn't close brackets / adds too many closing brackets

- Spams completions while you're writing comments

- Doesn't auto import the required libraries after accepting a suggestion

- No multi cursor mode

- Refuses to name variables

- Refuses to trigger in the middle of a line

- Lower quality code than ChatGPT (probably because they use a smaller model)

Asking because I was also a heavy Github Copilot user but after 1-2 years of constant subpar UX and seemingly no effort from the Copilot team to fix it, I just went ahead and built my own extension that fixes all of the above: https://double.bot

Also it wasn't on your list but you mentioned GPT-4 is smart. You should try the new Claude 3 Opus, we implemented it on Monday and have been getting super positive feedback from users!

I’d love to always know how much code I’m sending to a third party when using a tool like this.

What about autocompleting on sensitive files like .env or so.
